Abebe Aynete, a senior researcher with Ethiopian Foreign Relations Strategic Studies Institute, said the Chinese investment in infrastructure has brought changes in African countries that is "plain to see." "The Chinese investment in Africa focuses on infrastructure, while the United States for a long time has focused on promoting its values. The choice is for Africans to decide who is a better partner," Aynete said. "The statement from Tillerson comes from the fact (that) the United States fears that it has lost its influence on Africa to China," Aynete said.
